Harold Winston Beckett (30 May 1935[1] – 22 July 2010) was a British trumpeter and flugelhorn player of Barbadian origin.
- ^ According to his wife, Beckett was 86 (sic) when he died, but always "knocked the years off ... because he thought if they knew his age nobody would want to hire him because he was too old." See the obituary in The Independent, 24 August 2010, where his date of birth is given as 30 May 1923.
